F#m                                    E
Carry me home, got my blue nail polish on.
                  D            F#m              E
It's my favorite color and my favorite tone of song,
F#m                                            E
I don't really wanna break up, we got it going on,
               D                F#m                 E
it's what you gathered from my talk, but you were wrong.

         D                             E                      F#m
It's not easy for me to talk about, I have heavy heart strings,
         D                               E
I'm not simple, it's trigonometry. It's hard to express,
I can't explain.

Chorus:
F#m                        E
 Ever since my baby went away
                        D  F#m                      E
it's been the blackest day, it's been the blackest day.
F#m                        E
 All I hear is Billie Holiday,
                  D  F#m                E
it's all that I play, it's all that I play.
                   F#m                E
Because I'm going deeper and deeper, harder and harder,
         D               F#m            E
getting darker and darker, looking for love
   A               D    F#m     E
in all the wrong places, oh my god.
   A               D    F#m     E
in all the wrong places, oh my god.

Carry me home, got my new coat and my gun
Wind in my hair, holding your hand, listenin' to our song
Carry me home, don't wanna talk about the things to come
Just put your hands up in the air, the radio on

'Cause there's nothing for us to talk about
Like the future and those things
'Cause there's nothing for me to think about
Now that he's gone, I can't feel nothing

Chorus

       D                        F#m
You should've known better than to have to let her,
        E
get you under her spell of the weather.
                   D                       F#m
I got you where I want you, you did it, I never.
                   E
I'm falling for forever, I'm playing the game since.
                   D                     F#m
I got you where I want you, I got you, I got you.
                   E
I got you where I want you now.

F#m                        E
 Ever since my baby went away
                        D  F#m                      E
it's been the blackest day, it's been the blackest day.
F#m                        E
 All I hear is Billie Holiday,
                  D  F#m                E
it's all that I play, it's all that I play.

                        D                  F#m
It's not one of those phases I'm going through,
           E
or just a song.
                        A     D
It's no one else's, I'm on my own.
       F#m       E
On my own, on my own again.
          A     D        F#m         E
I'm on my own again, I'm on my own again,
          A     D        F#m         E
I'm on my own again, I'm on my own again.
